Match Day Thread Hull City v Derby County

Hasn't Campbell been involved in just about every chance we've created over the last year or so? He always seems to be setting people up in good positions.

 

Huge improvement from the Blackburn game yesterday after a dour first half. With all the money flying around it still surprises me what some expect from a free transfer who’s best days are obviously behind him?

 

No idea - that's one for #AskEhab

Can't leave Bowen out.
And can't leave a fit KG out either.
Good problems to finally have.

 

Welcome back Geo. Football opinions divide us all the time. But as a footballing family we’re all behind you (Not literally). But you know what I mean.

 

Thanks glp

 

Seconded

 

I may be a prat, but I ain't silly.

 

We can't leave Bowen out which is why we shouldn't play 3-5-2. He is our best player by far we should be playing a system to get the best out of him. Slutsky managed to get the best out of him by giving him a free role with barely any tracking back. He was simply superb under Slutsky. Yes it means we may concede a few but we have a far more experienced right back and it will get us a lot more goals.

I would get Bowen on the right, Grosicki on the left let them play free roles and let the handbreak off a little. Might concede a few but we will score a lot lot more and it would be great to watch.

As I've said year after year I'd rather watch us going for it. Either way we are going to be in the bottom half why not be in the bottom half and throw the kitchen sink at it? We will lost some games but with those two on the wing and the likes of Martin and Campbell up top we will games too.

 

Who was our right back last year?

 

Aina, he’s now at Torino.

 

Put him in the middle of Campbell or Martin, everyone knows he doesn’t have a right foot so just don’t let him cut inside.

To be honest I’d let him shoot with that foot all day long unoppposed.

 

I completely agree but he was superb for us last season and even against Rotherham this year I thought he was excellent. His form went down hill as soon as Nigel arrived, whether that is a coincidence or not I don't know. I stand by in general he is our best player, based on everything I've seen of him not just the 5 or so games this season.

Him on one wing, Grosicki on the other Martin or Campbell up top, let the wingers loose and we will score far more.

 

I just watched the highlights, and really City had the chances to win 2 games not only this one. I know it is only the highlights, but it certainly looked as if City had the lions share of the chances.

Their winning goal should never have been allowed to be crossed, it reminded me of the goal Man U scored at the death to win against us when Rashford was allowed to cross by Elmo.

 

I think many teams have worked out his right foot is for standing on....

 

They hit the crossbar twice and Marshall made a couple of good saves , we did create chances but I wouldn't say they were better than their chances

I was encouraged by the display though

 

Watched the extended highlights and thought we played some good stuff and created chances - De Wjis needs to rein himself in though - he puts in a couple of rash challenges per game. Yes we lost but Evandro, Campbell and Lichaj are smart players and add a big target guy like Martin to the team and I have hope

 

You're right about that cross.
